    Nice food but very crammed in tables and disappointed with the level of service for the reputation and price. They didn't know very common drinks such as a Whiskey Mac and a floater coffee ! It seems if they weren't on the menu then they couldn't serve which was a shame.

    As usual,I booked the 1917 menu which is good value,but my companions wanted Shepherd's pie and so went a la carte. The Ivy West St.is an institution. The others offer reliable food and service a cut above the ordinary. The wine was reasonably priced for London and big glasses. Ann wanted custard,which they don't do but settled for profiteroles. I wanted apple tarte which is baked fresh,so we waited and then found out it was not ordered. That said it was very popular at 1830 on a Tuesday evening,and rightly so. No problem splitting the bill. They know what they are doing.

    Although the wine and alcohol list is long, the cheapest bottle of wine is £38 and a glass of wine is around £15. Too expensive. Would be good if you could please offer cheaper alternatives. The food menu is good but it has been the same for a while. This branch is very nicely decorated and it was great to be able to sit at the back in the terrace.

    From arrival, a friendly, courteous welcome ensured a happy time. Even though the outside seating was not open, we were seated in a quiet corner and enjoyed a delicious lunch and the attention of polite, efficient staff

    As much as we go you never feel like it’s been a great experience. Service is always lacking. Waited 20 minutes to get our order taken and had to ask. Food comes but they forget the rice that comes with the dish. So ask three times and wait another 10 minutes before someone actually responds. I just feel they think they are better than they actually are, and they never try to improve the service despite the same issues persisting. Maybe one day they will read the comments and make an effort to improve the service.
